Implement
When you deliver your program,
theory meets reality. What you do determines whether your
audience is attracted and stays involved. Often the people
who are most effective at successfully delivering programs
are teachers or other education professionals. Natural resource
professionals should ask their education partners for help
in planning how to deliver the program and in carrying out
its delivery.
How will you manage the program? What will your target audience
actually do? Have you taken advantage of the unique locations
and qualities of water to make your program fun and memorable?
Have you incorporated appropriate instructional strategies?
How will instructors make sure that activities meet program
goals? What mechanisms have you set up to recognize the contributions
of participants, volunteers and staff? |

Figuring out how you will implementing your program is where you
really have to pay attention to how people learn and how your target
audience wants to learn. Review Learning
Theory information and rely on Tools
for Teaching for ideas on how to approach different education
challenges or audiences. Refer to Essential
BEPs to make sure that your teaching strategies pay attention
to learner needs as:
- Individuals
- Part of a class or group
- In an on-line course
- In the community
- People in a regional setting or working at policy levels beyond
the community level
Answer these questions:
1. Have you attended to basic management issues to ensure smooth
program operation?
2. How will you apply good instructional strategies?
3. How will you recognize the contributions of participants, volunteers
or staff?
